Suggestions for Lowering Blood Pressure With RESPeRATE
RESPeRATE is intended to be used along with other measures for
lowering high blood pressure. To get the most benefit from RESPeRATE, make sure to follow your healthcare provider's recommendations for any lifestyle changes (such as a low-sodium diet or increased exercise).
Theoretically, you might be able to stop your
blood pressure medication (or decrease the dose) if you successfully use RESPeRATE to
lower blood pressure, especially if your
blood pressure was only slightly high. However, this potential benefit has not been studied, and the manufacturer of RESPeRATE makes no claims about stopping or decreasing medication. In any case, do not stop your medication or change the dose without your healthcare provider's approval and supervision.
Even though RESPeRATE does not require a prescription, you should talk with your healthcare provider prior to using the device. Your healthcare provider can help you determine your blood pressure goals and help monitor your progress.
